Indian-Spiced Potatoes and Peas with Chilies and Ginger
- Makes4 servings
- Cook Time30 minutes
This boldly flavored dish is a hybrid of two Indian classics: aloo matar (a tomatoey potato and pea curry) and the potato filling used in samosas. Microwaving the potato chunks simplifies and speeds up the cooking, while finishing them in a skillet ensures they are browned and crisp. For a good kick of chili heat, leave the seeds in the serranos before mincing. These potatoes are a great side dish, but served with basmati rice and yogurt they're hearty enough to be a vegetarian meal.
Don't bother thawing the peas; they'll defrost and cook directly in the skillet. Also, don't use waxy potatoes such as red or white varieties. Starchy russets better absorb the seasonings and become tender with cooking.
